Taking a leap of faith



Leap of Faith in to the Unkown Web

Changing Servers and domains changes everything. This leap of faith applies to the change of BeWiseMonkey.Com changing its server on the web, the site was getting good quality hits everyday , up to 1000 hits a day and has all the promise of growing to be a nice popular site, for all those people who like watching funny monkeys, checking some nice girl pictures and reading some random articles. Unfortunatly the site was on Wordpress.com which has a very little tolerance for advertising.

Affiliate links and adverts are not allowed on Wordpress and so i was risking the site by having it on there. Not that i could have just taken ads off the site, but i want to be able to advertise on my site and i dont want all my articles to be deleted. So the choice was to take a leap of faith and move away from Wordpress.com and hoste privatly but still using Wordpress.org to manage site contents. Having used the wordpress content and system i am happy with it and it provides me with the tools which suit my level of Webmaster intelligence.

Google and other services dont know the site has moved my page rankings on googles searchs still come up the same but the BeWiseMonkey.Com they link too is differnet to the current location the site is in. So back to square one, i dont know how the traffic will grow now i have no associations with the wordpress.com tagging lists as i used to get good traffic from them and im not sure if customers search terms will take a while to hit in to my site again.

Leaving Wordpress.com and now out in the big open internet, maybe this happend to soon. I could have removed advertising from my blog and carried on and tryed to build the site visits to 10-20k per day then left anouncements advising people to keep the webname on favorites list and that it will be offline for a few days while it gets rebuilt on the new server. Another thing is the site has had to undergo new design modifications as the old theme didnt transfer over.

Being with Wordpress you are not allowed to modify htlm code either so your pages and posts are pretty much fixed with in what the simple scripts will allow, now the site is able to have flash and other forms of Htlm i think it will be a steep learning curve and also a little bit of fun to see what else can be included to the visit. I am a complete coding beginer so its slow steps but overall time will tell whether the leap of faith was worth it.
